If your cable company is offering Arris' Moxi Whole Home DVR setup (we've seen it pop up on Shaw, BendBroadband and Wide Open West so far) you should have a few new features headed your way.

If I didn’t already subscribe to Dish and own a Hopper, I would get the Arris Moxi DVR. My Hopper comes with three Joeys and delivers me with full DVR functions in every room, and it can record up to six shows at once. The Hopper has a 2 terabyte hard drive that allows me to record up to 250 hours of HD recording time. I work for Dish and I can also tell you that the Hopper also gives customers the option to skip their commercials! Call and check it out.
